Information from Cell Network's general shareholders' meetings At Cell Network's ordinary general shareholders' meeting on 10 May, CEO Niklas Flyborg commented on the position and future prospects of the company. "The winners in our industry are suppliers with customer relations lasting many years, good references and the right positioning. Cell Network is one such company. It distinguishes us from many Internet companies with whom we are often erroneously compared. We are a company with a good history before the extremes of the year 2000. We are a company which can be counted on in the future," said Niklas Flyborg. At the ordinary general shareholders' meeting of Cell Network AB on 10 May 200, the Board was re-elected in its entirety. The Board of Directors thus consists of Lars O Pettersson (Chairman), Jan Carlzon, Niklas Flyborg (CEO), Thomas Heilmann, Maria Lilja and Rune Rinnan.
